In addition, preferably, expect that electrode 12 is electrically connected with the first outer electrode 10 or the second outer electrode 11 behind.Thus, electrostatic capacitance is formed at sparking electrode 3 or between sparking electrode 4 and behind electrode 12.This electrostatic capacitance increases further due to the existence of high dielectric constant layer 7.Thus, charge effects during electric discharge can be improved further, discharge ionization voltage can be reduced further.Present inventor confirms further, in this situation, does not excessively increase electrostatic capacitance, also can use in high-frequency circuit.
In addition, can make the heat produced by electric discharge, electrode 12 discharges rapidly to the outer electrode 10 be electrically connected with behind electrode 12 or outer electrode 11 from behind.Thus, the heat deterioration in Esd protection device 1 can be suppressed.
